The Patrol Division is supervised by Captain Richard Farnsworth.

The Patrol Division is the heart and soul of the St. George Police Department and is the most recognizable Division. If you have ever had contact with officers from the St. George Police Department, odds are that it started with an officer from this Division. Along with responding to citizens’ calls for service and officers’ pro-active patrol work; St. George City’s Community Action Teams (C.A.T) are being coordinated through the patrol division. You will become very familiar with the uniform officers of this Division if you take an active role in your area Community Action Team. These officers are eager to work with you to improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods that effect you most.

The Patrol Division is broken into five specialties:

Uniform Patrol:
3 Lieutenants, 6 Sergeants, 36 Patrol Officers

Traffic Enforcement (Motor Unit):
1 Sergeant, 4 Motor Officers

Uniform Patrol:
There are 45 sworn officers that comprise the uniform patrol arm of the Patrol Division. There are three Patrol Lieutenants who are referred to as Watch Commanders. The three Watch Commanders currently assigned to Patrol are:

Lieutenant David Moss
Lieutenant Mike Giles
Lieutenant Kyle Whitehead

Each Watch Commander supervises 2 sergeants each. Each of these sergeants is responsible for supervising a crew of 6 officers, on a daily basis. In addition, the each Sergeant along with their Lieutenant supervise the activities of the Community Action Teams.

These crews are scheduled into six individual units, known as squads. These squads are broken into three shifts (day, swing, & grave yard) with two squads per shift. Half of the squads work Sunday through Wednesday, while the other half work Wednesday through Saturday. The overlapping Wednesday is used for department wide training, special enforcement, and special event staffing.
